AB OBJECTIVESAfter  studying  this  chapter,  you  should  be  able  to:Describe  the  structure  and  function  of  the  neural  elements  in  the  olfactory  epithelium  and  olfactory  bulb.Identify  the  significance  of  the  family  of  olfactory  receptor  genes.Explain  how  odorant  receptors  are  activated  and  the  mechanism  by  which  signal  transduction  occurs  in  these  receptors.Label  the  components  of  the  pathway  by  which  impulses  generated  in  the  olfactory  epithelium  reach  five  regions  of  the  olfactory  cortex.Describe  the  location  and  cellular  composition  of  taste  buds.Name  the  five  major  taste  modalities  and  compare  the  signal  transduction  mechanisms  in  the  receptors  mediating  these  different  taste  modalities.Label  the  components  of  the  pathways  by  which  impulses  generated  in  taste  receptors  reach  the  gustatory  region  of  the  insular  cortex.Name  and  discuss  abnormalities  in  odor  and  taste  sensations.
